RE: Appsec toolkits

This toolkit does similar things. Can launch from windows or stand alone boot from CD and can mount NTFS volumes. Have not used it exensively but also has everything you need.

Hi Craig,

Are you using any particular platform OS for the tools? One thing that's caught my fancy recently are linux "live" CDs; in particular the Knoppix distibution based on Debian <http://www.knopper.net>. The CD boots and runs in RAM and on a compressed loop filesystem. Lots of apps like X, OpenOffice, along with security apps like nessus, hping, nmap, etc. are already on the CD...the kicker is the CD installs on a HD in about 10 minutes.

Toss on a bunch of tools from packetstorm, owasp, etc. and you've got a nice portable, yet flexible, distro :)

Thanks,

Do you need help?
